Preparamedicine
The EMT: Emergency Medical Training Canada Pre-Paramedicine program is a 150-hour pre-hospital emergency medical program that exceeds the US Department of Transportation Emergency Medical Technician-Basic (EMT-B) program – the entry-level standard for ambulance service employment for many States. The program has been deemed to meet (and exceed) the EMT-Basic training curriculum for the State of Texas by the Texas Commission on Fire Protection.
Our program follows the 2020 Paramedic Association of Canada National Occupational Competency Profile (NOCP) for Emergency Medical Responder (EMR). In several provinces in Canada, an EMR is the EMS provider entry level of care—allowing an EMR to work alongside a Paramedic in an ambulance.
The first intensive paramedic preparatory course for the Province of Ontario primary care paramedic program.
The EMT / Pre-Paramedicine program is a preparatory program for individuals interested in pursuing a career in Paramedicine, Nursing or Medical Sciences, including Medical School. This program is not a stand-alone Paramedic program and it does not grant a successful candidate the opportunity to work as a Paramedic upon successful completion of the program.
Why Take our Preparamedicine Program?
The Reality No One Tells You
You're more likely to fail a paramedic program than graduate from one.
Ontario paramedic programs have failure rates approaching 60%. Think about that for a moment. More than half of the students who start their dream of becoming a paramedic never finish.
The question is... why?
Is it because colleges are accepting students who aren't prepared? Is it because paramedic programs move too fast? Or is there a critical piece of training that's simply missing before students ever step into the classroom?
We believe it's the last one.
Success in paramedicine isn't just about intelligence—it's about entering your program with the right foundation, mindset, and clinical thinking skills. That's exactly what our Pre-Paramedicine Program was built to provide.
Don't Just Get Accepted. Get Prepared.
Anyone can apply to a paramedic program.
Very few students arrive truly ready for one.
Our Pre-Paramedicine Program is designed to bridge the gap between being accepted and being successful. We prepare you for the pace, expectations, and critical thinking required in Ontario paramedic programs so you can hit the ground running while others struggle to keep up.
Our Results Speak for Themselves
While Ontario paramedic programs have an average success rate of roughly 40%, 100% of our graduates who have gone on to attend paramedic programs since 2020 have successfully completed their programs.
That's not luck.
That's preparation.
We've helped students enter paramedic programs across Ontario and other provinces with the confidence and skills needed to succeed.
We're not interested in telling every student they're ready.
If we believe you need more preparation before entering a paramedic program, we'll tell you honestly. We'll identify your weaknesses, help you strengthen them, and work with you until you're truly ready to succeed.
Because we'd rather delay your start than watch you become another statistic.
We Care More About Your Success Than Your Tuition
Learn Until You're Ready—At No Additional Cost
Many students choose to take our program more than once to sharpen their knowledge and confidence before applying to college.
That's why, if you complete our Pre-Paramedicine Program and want to take it again, you never pay for it a second time.
In fact, you never have to pay for any eligible course with us again.
Review. Refresh. Reinforce your skills.
As many times as you need.
Because your success is our mission.
Invest in Your Future Before You Invest in College
Paramedic school demands excellence from day one.
Give yourself the advantage that hundreds of students wish they had before they started.
Don't become part of the 60%.
Become one of the students who enters prepared, performs with confidence, and graduates ready to serve.
Your journey to becoming a paramedic starts here. Start stronger than everyone else.
Who Should Consider Taking our Pre-Paramedicine Program?
The EMT Canada Pre-Paramedicine Program is ideally suited for ANYONE considering taking a Paramedic Program or a Nursing Program or Medical School, to boost your application resume and to get some emergency medical training at a Paramedic level. The program would be equally beneficial to Fire Fighters and Industrial Medical Responders.
The EMT Canada Advantage
Small Class Sizes
Class sizes are kept low, capped at 10 participants in the EMT Pre-Paramedicine program as opposed to a 50-student class in the College Paramedic Program. This ensures that you will receive maximum personal attention during the EMT Pre-Paramedicine program.
Personalized Training
We provide additional opportunities for students to meet, either individually or in small groups, outside of the scheduled times. There is no extra charge for additional training hours!

Program Design
Participants will be given pre-course reading assignments that will be enriched with in-class discussions and skills practice. Participants will enjoy experiential learning and simulation, using trained casualty actors and theatrical make-up. Our Gaumard High Fidelity Simulators will provide a unique opportunity to experience Simulator Education. This is an immersive, low-stress, FUN way to learn about Paramedicine and to gain a valuable leg-up on knowledge, skills and pre-hospital education.
By the end of the Preparamedicine program, each participant will have learned how to utilize every piece of medical and transport equipment that they will be exposed to during their paramedic program. Early familiarization with Paramedic tools means that when they get to the Paramedic Program, they can focus on higher-learning knowledge and skills.
Our goal is to provide you with an exceptional stand-alone learning experience as well as prepare you for your journey into healthcare!

Preparamedicine Program Attendance Certificate
An absolutely incredible learning experience with an amazing teacher!! Jeff is an engaging and entertaining teacher who uses his acting skills to put on the best realistic scenarios for training. He ensures everyone understands the content and explains the ‘why’ for everything we do so we understand the logic around first aid skills. I went into the pre-paramedicine program shy and with minimal skills and came out with confidence, a passion for paramedicine, and some great friends. By far the most valued and highest quality of first aid training I have ever received!
Rachel, Preparamedicine Program Participant
There are fast-food first aid training providers, and there are high end boutique oriented training providers. EMT: Emergency Medical Training Canada Inc. is definitely on the high end of the boutique providers. I have taken a number of courses from over 6 training providers over the years, including National Lifesaving, St John’s Ambulance, and Red Cross certified providers and the quality of the experience has varied so much, in spite of all these programs achieving the same WSIB certified standard for material to be covered.
EMT Canada’s training not only meets the same required WSIB standard for industry recognition (and at a cost extremely competitive with even the lowest cost providers) but provides a level of training far superior than any other provider I have used.
EMT Canada trainers are experienced and highly qualified professionals (regional active paramedics, army medics/paramedics or similar level of professionals) that use training equipment that is more realistic and better maintained than even many college and university health care programs. No expense is spared to ensure students receive the most realistic, hands-on experience possible in a classroom environment.
The training philosophy however is where EMT Canada really shines. Instructor dedication to teaching is so high, that time is always available to answer any and all questions even after a course is over. Ongoing support and continuous learning options are accessible and available making a course with EMT Canada not a stand-alone event, but an ongoing partnership. In-class instruction simulation and scenarios are also made as realistic and challenging as possible, at a level that needs to be experienced to be appreciated.
Do not hesitate in enrolling with training with EMT: Emergency Medical Training Canada.
